While the final numbers are not in for the event this past weekend, we wanted to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who helped to make this year's 2nd Annual Art for the Cure of CF a success....

Conor O'Neill's...thank you AGAIN this year for the kind donation of the Celtic Room for our event and for donating 15% of all food sales when guests presented their "official" flyer. The waitstaff had their hands full on Saturday and handled it with grace and even looked like they were enjoying themselves!!

Toppermost...thank you for being our entertainment two years-in-a-row! Guests kept asking where we found you and truly enjoyed your music. I'm certain you have some new fans (in addition to all of us!).

Allegra Print & Imaging...a HUGE thank you for the kind donation of all printing costs and production for our invitations, flyers, and programs for the evening. They looked beautiful!!

Local Donors...well, without your kind donations Art for the Cure wouldn't exist! A big thank you to our local artists and businesses for donations which included many forms of media, gift certificates, etc. We especially thank you for your donations when the economy isn't necessarily in your favor. Your support for our cause in helping to find a cure for cystic fibrosis is GREATLY appreciated!!

Guests...the event was special because of all the support (financially and emotionally) that you provided. We are blessed to have had wonderful, fun, individuals on hand to help raise money for a cause close to our hearts. We are thrilled that you could join us and hope that you will consider joining us again next year (date TBA).

To the wonderful committee...THANK YOU! We wouldn't have been able to do this without your determination to the cause. Our guest of honor, Robyn, was thrilled with the turnout and can't wait until next year!

The 2nd Annual Art for the Cure of Cystic Fibrosis is just over a week away!

We are very excited by the donations that have come to us for the silent auction! There are art pieces and other donations to fit everyone's taste!

In addition, we are looking forward to some wonderful music by Toppermost and the food and fun at Conor O'Neill's!!

If you are unable to come to our evening event, please consider printing a copy of the flyer and eating lunch or dinner at Conor's. They will be donating 15% of food prices to the cause when the flyer is presented at check-out.

For those of you that will be attending, we can't wait to see you! Our guest of honor, Robyn, will be here this year and is very thankful for the support.

Cheers!

P.S. If you know of a local artist or business that may be interested in donating an item for our auction, please let us know!

Art for the Cure of Cystic Fibrosis (ACCF) was created in 2007 in honor of our sister, daughter, and friend, Robyn, in hopes of finding a cure or better control for the disease. Sadly, Robyn lost her battle with CF in November 2008. We continue the fight in her memory and to help find a cure for those still battling cystic fibrosis.
